Vcash (XVC), formerly Vanillacoin (VNL), is a decentralised open-source cryptocurrency launched in December 2014. It was re-branded to Vcash in April 2016. Developed from scratch, it is a fast and privacy-oriented cryptocurrency, featuring ZeroTime (8-second transaction confirmations without the need of masternodes) and DarkPP (a framework for building decentralised DarkNet applications). The Vcash wallet application is a lightweight and easy-to-use cryptocurrency client with one special feature - a built-in command-line interface for passing Remote Procedure Call (RPC) commands. Vcash is a hybrid proof-of-work/proof-of-work cryptocurrency that allows both mining and staking with an annual interest of 0.7%. Original announcement.
